Thermon heat tracing systems used in shipping applications

Heat tracing systems are used in a number of applications for the shipping industry, each requiring specific knowledge and experience. One of the typical fields is heat tracing for deck lines on motor tank ships for oil, chemical products, bitumen and edible oil.

Thermon has designed heat tracing systems for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of:

loading and unloading lines

gas/vapour-return lines

strip and cleaning lines

fuel oil lines

storage tanks and vessels

deck and tank cleaning lines

fire protection lines

engine room fuel and drip lines

cross-over lines

manifolds

safety showers.

All Thermon heat tracing cables used for the shipping industry are in compliance with the requirements of Lloyd’s Register.

The installed heat tracing materials can either be controlled by local thermostats or by means of the Thermon TC electronic heat tracing controller TC 816, often located in the wheel house or engine room.

The electronic controller is used for controlling and monitoring the pipeline temperatures from one central point for safety reasons.
